Every railroad accident that occurs
is made the cause for the arrest Of
or engineer upon the charge
of criminal carelessness. But it is
not they who are, in the majority of
cases, to blame. It is their employ
ers-their superiors in offi-who will
exact from one man more Work often,
than ought be required of three. We
are personally aware of instances
wher engineers and fremen are com.
pelled-if they would hold their job
to be on the road for 30 consecutive
hours without a moments rest or
sleep. Is it any wonder then that
they should sometimes become "dere-
lict" in their duty and that terrible
casualties result from their so-called
negligence The wonder is that rail.
road disasters are not more numerous
than the awful record of accidents
now show them to be.
